Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Founding CTO – Startup Agentic AI - £200k +equity – Remote (UK/EU)

Built or helped build an AI startup from scratch (or early-stage AI product)?

Hands-on with BERT-era AI models (pre-LLM boom), with real-world deployment experience?

Led small technical teams and collaborated directly with product, clients, or stakeholders?

If yes to all three, we should talk.

The challenge

Spinning out from an AI incubator, we’ve just launched our platform for AI agents. Giving developers a way to build adaptive agents that can dynamically discover, compose, and execute actions without needing to hardwire every step, turning agent-to-agent interactions into a scalable, flexible system. Think of it as the action layer powering the emerging agent economy.

Why this is different:

  • Pre-seed funding already secured.
  • Step into a founder role - not an employee title.
  • Own the PoC and build from it - your vision, your team.
  • Work at the bleeding edge of true Agentic AI - not just agents automating tasks, but agents training and building other agents.

We’ve got our CEO on board and the next step is to bring on board a CTO to lead the technical efforts. We’re looking to speak with:

  • CTOs, Founders, Lead/Principal AI Engineers
  • Hungry, entrepreneurial profiles who've either launched their own AI startup or built early-stage AI products from scratch.

About you

You’ll draw on your experience in AI/ML Engineering to drive the design of the platform and tailor it to be most efficient for AI Agents, and have the following:

  • Experience working in an AI startup, ideally from the start
  • Hands-on AI development - deep experience with BERT and other pre-LLM models (not just prompting GPT-4).
  • Leadership - you’ve run small technical teams, worked directly with product, clients, and stakeholders.
  • A solid background in AI (Engineering rather than Research)
  • Possess a deep understanding of reinforcement learning, distributed training and Agentic AI

Not for you if:

  • You’re more strategist than builder.
  • Your AI experience is just post-ChatGPT.
  • You’re mainly delivering analytics or dashboards dressed up as AI.

Please note: you must be eligible to work in the UK or EU to be considered for this position.
